If I view the source of a certain webpage, there is a script tag that seems to be cut off at the end, ending with an ellipsis (...). Is there a way to tell if the script is actually being cut off or if the ellipsis is actually part of the content? If it is cut off, is there a way to view the whole thing?
Yes, it appears that Chrome Developer tool truncates the display of the content and shows an ellipses instead. The content is still there and parsed by the browser.
You can view the full content by going to the Sources tab, clicking on the Show Navigator icon, and selecting your file.
The previous answers do not work if js code added dynamically. For me works when I do right click on script element and choose Copy -> Copy element
For those looking just to view or copy a cut off script tag, the solution I found to work for me is saving the web page to disk and then opening using a code editor. Obviously this won't allow you to edit in place or debug, but for copying it works great!
If your truncated script is being generated dynamically, you will note that the truncated code is automatically highlighted/selected. If you copy this and paste it into a text editor, you will find that the complete/un-truncated section of script will be pasted. Not ideal, but not too much hassle either.
it is kinda hard to explain what I am talking about
easier is have a look at this video at minute 18:50 until 19:00
sublime's nifty text block select and change
he selects a text block, then selects other text blocks with it, and changes them all together at once
is there something like this in intellij or eclipse?
What you want is called Multiple Selections, and it is not yet implemented in official IntelliJ, there is just my prototype which works pretty much like Sublime, and if you want, you can build it and give it a try :).
Edit: It is now implemented in some form in official IntelliJ
There might be an option in Eclipse to Rename In File through Quick Assist (Ctrl+1), but it usually applies to variables and not simply every occurrence of a string in the file.
Recently every time I copy a block of code from Eclipse and paste the code into TextEdit or a online forum using the code tags, I get the code with the rich-text or html formatting, so I have to copy into a text editor remove the formatting copying and pasting again, In the past this was not a problem I used to copy from eclipse and paste the code without any formatting at all just as plain-text, I dont know if I turn on a property or what I did for this to happen, any ideas how to fix this?
There is an Eclipse bug filed for this that can be voted for:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=45969
It has been open for 10 years though!
There are applications out there that think they can handle rich text but can't. So for those it looks like we'll have to carry on with "Copy-Switch to Notepad-Paste-Select All-Copy-Switch to final app-Paste" for some time yet.
Note: the rich formatting from a SWT editor seems to have always been available (bug 64498).
You could use "Edit, Paste and Match Style" in TextEdit.
From the Edit menu, choose Paste and Match Style,
or use the keyboard shortcut, Shift Option Command V.
The pasted text will pick up all the formatting from the character to the left of the flashing insertion point. This technique works in Mail as well.
I have to write some documents that will include source code examples. Some of the examples will be written from the IDE, and others would be written in place. My examples are primarily in Java.
As someone who is used to LaTeX, doing this in Word is extremely painful. However, I am bound to Word for this. The only options I have seen are:
Write or copy into the document,
then use a fixed type font, arrange
formatting and hope that Word didn't
uppercase stuff for you. Needless to
say, this looks like crap.
Copy and paste screenshots of source
code from the IDE. At least I keep
colors. However, if I change my font
size, I'm screwed. I'm also screwed
across page boundaries. And let's
admit it, Word is not great at
managing multiple images on a
document.
Write HTML (not really an option
here)
Is there some better (and ideally portable) way to do this? Is there at least some sort of verbatim style similar to the LaTeX environment? Is there at least some pretty printer that I could copy-and-paste as RTF?
I absolutely hate and despise working for free for Microsoft, given how after all those billions of dollars they STILL do not to have proper guides about stuff like this with screenshots on their damn website.
Anyways, here is a quick guide in Word 2010, using Notepad++ for syntax coloring, and a TextBox which can be captioned:
Choose Insert / Text Box / Simple Text Box
A default text box is inserted
Switch to NPP, choose the language for syntax coloring of your code, go to Plugins / NPPExport / Copy RTF to clipboard
Switch back to word, and paste into the text box - it may be too small ...
... so you may have to change its size
Having selected the text box, right-click on it, then choose Insert Caption ...
In the Caption menu, if you don't have one already, click New Label, and set the new label to "Code", click OK ...
... then in the Caption dialog, switch the label to Code, and hit OK
Finally, type your caption in the newly created caption box
I recently came across this post and found some useful hints. However, I ended up using an entirely different approach which suited my needs. I am sharing the approach and my reasoning of why I chose this approach. The post is longer than I would have liked, but I believe screenshots are always helpful. Hopefully, the answer would be useful to someone.
My requirements were the following:
Add code snippets to a word document, with syntax highlighting for easier visibility and differentiation of code and other text.
Code snippet shall be inline with other text.
Code snippet shall break across pages smoothly without any extra effort.
Code snippet shall have a nice border.
Code snippet shall have spell-check disabled.
My Approach is as listed below:
Use external tool to achieve syntax highlighting requirement 1 above.
One could use notepad plus plus as described above. However, I use the tool present here - https://syntax-highlighter.k26.ch/. This gives me the option to use line number, as well as very nice syntax highlighting (Please use Google Chrome for this step, because syntax highlight is not copied when using Mozilla Firefox, as also pointed out by couple of user comments). Steps to achieve syntax highlighting are listed below:
Open the website provided above in chrome and Copy the code snippet in the text area. I will be using a sample XML to demonstrate this (XML sample from here - http://www.service-architecture.com/articles/object-oriented-databases/xml_file_for_complex_data.html).
Select the language from drop down menu.
Click "Show Highlighted" button. It will open a new tab, with syntax-highlighted code snippet, in this case the XML sample we chose. See image below for example.
To Turn off the line numbers, inspect the page in chrome. Then, under styles, deselect the "margin" property in ".dp-highlighter ol", as shown in the image below. If you want to keep the line numbers, go to next step.
Select the syntax-highlighted code and click copy. Now your code is ready to be pasted into Microsoft word.
Thanks to this blog for providing this information - http://idratherbewriting.com/2013/04/04/adding-syntax-highlighting-to-code-examples-online-and-in-microsoft-word/.
2. To achieve requirements 2, 3 and 4 above, use table in Microsoft word, to insert the code snippet. Steps are listed below:
Insert a table with single column.
Paste the copied text from step 1. in the table column. I have kept the line numbers to show how well this works with Microsoft word.
Apply border, as you like. I have used size 1pt. Resulting Microsoft word snippet will appear as shown in screenshot below. Note how nicely it breaks across the page - NO extra effort needed to manage this, which you would face if inserting "OpenDocument Text" object or if using "Simple TextBox".
To achieve requirement 5, follow the steps below:
Select the entire table or the text.
Go to Review tab. Under Language, choose "Proofing Language". A new pop-up will be presented.
Select "Do not check spelling or grammar". Then, click OK.
Resulting text has spell-check disabled. Final result is shown in the image below and meets all the requirements.
Please provide if you have any feedback or improvements or run into any issues with the approach.
You need to define a style in your Word document and use that for source code. I usually have a style called "Code" which has a monospaced font in a small point size, fixed size tabs, single line spacing, no before/after paragraph spacing, etc. You only need to define this style once and then reuse it. You paste in your source code and apply the "Code" style to it.
Note that some editors (e.g. Xcode on the Mac) add RTF as well as text to the clipboard when copying/pasting between applications - Word recognises RTF and helpfully retains the formatting, syntax colouring, etc.
Source code in Xcode:
Copied and pasted to Word:
(Note: it's a good idea to disable spell-checking in your "Code" style in Word.)
It kind of depends on the IDE. Both Visual Studio and Eclipse, for example, will allow you to copy as RTF and paste into Word, keeping all your formatting.
Notepad++ has a plugin called "NppExport" (comes pre-installed) that allows you to copy to RTF, though I don't care much for Notepad++'s syntax highlighting (it'd definitely be passable though). What it does do is support dozens of languages, whereas the aforementioned IDEs are limited to a handful each (without other plug-ins).
Use this - http://hilite.me/
hilite.me converts your code snippets into pretty-printed HTML format, easily embeddable into blog posts, emails and websites.
How:
Just copy the source code to the left pane, select the language and the color scheme, and click "Highlight!". The HTML from the right pane can now be pasted to your blog or email, no external CSS or Javascript files are required.
For Microsoft Word document: Copy the the content from the Preview section and paste to your Microsoft Word document.
3 sections : Source Code , HTML and Preview
These answers look outdated and quite tedious compared to the web add-in solution; which is available for products since Office 2013.
I'm using Easy Code Formatter, which allows you to codify the text in-place. It also gives you line-numbering options, highlighting, different styles and the styles are open sourced here: https://github.com/armhil/easy-code-formatter-styles so you could extend the styling yourself. To install - open Microsoft Word, go to Insert Tab / click "Get Add-ins" and search for "Easy Code Formatter"
This is related to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/2653406/931265
Creating an object solved all of my problems.
Insert > Object > Opendocument Text
This will open a document window, paste your text, format it how you want, and close it.
The result is a figure. Right click the object, and select 'add a caption'.
You can now make cross references, create a table of figures.
If you are still looking for an simple way to add code snippets.
you can easily go to [Insert] > [Object] > [Opendocument Text] > paste your code > Save and Close.
You could also put this into a macro and add it to your easy access bar.
notes:
This will only take up to one page of code.
Your Code will not be autocorrected.
You can only interact with it by double-clicking it.
On a Mac I find this solution with vim to be wonderful:
https://github.com/zerowidth/vim-copy-as-rtf
There is an easy way if you want simple code formatting.
Open word> Insert tab> click on "Get Add-ins"
search for "Content mixer"
3.click on "Add"
Then content mixer add will open automatically and you can copy paste your code in there and click on "Insert" to insert it in word doc.
You can use Open Xml Sdk for this. If you have the code in html with color and formatting. You can use altchunks to add it to the word documents.
Refer this post Add HTML String to OpenXML (*.docx) Document
Hope this helps!
This is what i did.

You can using Plugin Syntax Highlight in Ms.Word https://store.office.com/syntax-highlighter-WA104315019.aspx?assetid=WA104315019 . i follow that step and it's work
In Word, it is possible to paste code that uses color to differentiate comments from code using "Paste Keep Source Formatting." However, if you use the pasted code to create a new style, Word automatically strips the color coded text and changes them to be black (or whatever the auto default color is). Since applying a style is the best way to ensure compliance with document format requirements, Word is not very useful for documenting software programs. Unfortunately, I don't recall Open Office being any better.
The best work-around is to use the default simple text box.
I have tried all your methods, but they didn't work for me, in fact I have created an easier method using MS Word Tables.
Pros:
More beautiful
Easier to manage & more consistent
Are less prone to problems
No need for external plugins or MS Word micro coding.
Easier to handle by simple users (such as myself).
Cons:
It will not maintain code colouring although someone could improve my trick.
Steps:
Insert a 3x3 table, in my case I always make the total width of the table equals the free page's width (3 rows minimum to test the tables style).
Use invisible borders ("No Borders" option), and activate "View Gridlines" option. it should have this aspect.
Be ware that those lines are for you to see the table's grid, and the will not be printed.
Make the adjustments to cells' spacing and columns' width to get the aspect you like. (You will have to get in "Table Properties" for fine tuning).
Create a "Paragraph Style" with the name of "Code" just for your code snippets (check https://stackoverflow.com/a/25092977/8533804 to get the idea, you don't have to follow all of it)
Create another "Paragraph Style" with the name of "Code_numberline" that will be based upon the previous created style.
In the newly created "Code_numberline" add the numbering style that you like (this will automate line numbering).
Apply "Code_numberline" to the first column, and "Code" to the 3 column.
Add a fill in the middle column.
Save that table style and enjoy!
So I've found the majority of answers on this question to either be only semi-functional or broken entirely (eg the website used is down). This solution is entirely self-contained in Word, works across multiple pages, and keeps your syntax highlighting.
Here's the steps:
Temporarily set your IDE's theme to a light one, so that the text will fit in with the rest of your document.
Copy the required code (HTML colourising info will be copied with it).
In Word, hit Ctrl+Alt+V and choose HTML Format to paste the coloured text.
Select all your text and then expand the styles gallery on the home tab of the ribbon.
Choose "Create a style". Use a name such as "Code"
Right click your new style in the gallery and choose "Modify".
Under the formatting section, change the font to Consolas or your choice of monospace font. Also set the line spacing to Condensed (this option is next to the text alignment options).
Under the format button in the bottom left, choose "Language", then enable the "Don't check spelling or grammar" option.
If you want this style to be available in future documents, change to the "New documents based on this template" radio button.
Optional: for line numbers...
Back in the Modify Style dialogue, choose the format button again and choose "Numbering".
Choose the "Define new number format" option.
Remove the dot after the number '1' in the number format box.
Choose "Right" as the number alignment.
Hit ok, then select your new number alignment option. Finally, hit ok on the Modify Style dialog.
Finally, select your code, and set it to be the Code style, which should apply all the required formatting.
I would like to automatically convert between tabs and spaces for indentation when I commit/update code to/from our repository. I have found the AnyEdit plugin for eclipse, which can convert directories of files. Not bad for a start, but does anybody have more expierience on how to handle this? Or maybe know of an Ant script or something else?
Make sure you have your editor set to use spaces instead of tabs.
Select all text and hit CMD + I on mac or CTRL + I on windows.
Why not just use the code formatter and/or cleanup function? It has settings that take care of that stuff for you. You can even have it run automatically on save.
Edit: As Peter Perháč points out in the comments, this only answers half the question. I don't have any practical experience, but you could try the Maven Eclipse Format Plugin to format from a Maven build.
Unfortunately, that's Maven only, and I know of no light-weight command line formatter. But if you happen to use Maven, you can bind the format goal to the proper phase, and if you set Eclipse to auto-build, it would format on update.
Depending on the SCM tool (git, svn, etc), you could also create a hook that runs the build (but it might be a bit too heavy-weight for that).
I use the AnyEdit plugin to auto-convert tabs to spaces on the save of a file. I also configure the base text editor (from which pretty much all the others derive) to insert spaces instead of tabs. This sounds redundant, but what it does is ensure that I don't insert any tabs, and any file that I edit that already has tabs will be converted as soon as I save it.
Tabs have no place in source code. If someone else looks at the file with their tab-stops set to a different value, they lose most alignment/formatting anyway.
(Of course, if you have Makefiles that you edit directly, you'll want to make sure their tabs are retained. But in my projects, if make is used at all the Makefile is derived from a different source, such as a Makefile.PL in Perl.)
A bit overkill, and only something to attempt with certain repository products that can handle it, but a hook script to call indent or astyle could do the trick. It'll format everyone's code the same way for every file, depending how you write the hook script, and it'd have to be pre-commit of course.
You may lose alignment/formatting by using tabs instead of spaces if and only if the tabs are not at the beginning of the line. Never use tabs insides lines, always use tabs at the front of lines. This allows you to use your editor to adjust to your desired indent level without impacting your co-workers view of the file. Challenge: Find an example where tabs at the front of the line loses alignment.
I use Kedit for just this thing. It also natively converts text files from Macintosh, UNIX and MS-Dos. Since it's an older editor, I use one of it's scripts to handle unicode files.
You might also want to look at some of the other smart editors.
I use Eclipse for Java EE developer 4.6.0 Neon. I use http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/anyedit-tools
